Ingredients

  • Shrimp Marinade
    1 lb shrimp (peeled, deveined, tails off)
    2 tbsp Volcanic Sunset (Flavor Expedition Co.)
    ½ tsp kosher salt
    Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tsp)
    3 tbsp avocado oil
  • Avocado Crema
    1 ripe avocado (peeled and pitted)
    ½ cup fresh cilantro
    1 jalapeño (seeds removed)
    3 garlic cloves (peeled)
    Juice of 2 limes (about 3 tbsp)
    ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
    3 tbsp avocado oil
    3 tbsp water (plus 1 more if needed)
    ½ tsp kosher salt
  • Taco Elements & Garnish
    1 cup shredded green cabbage
    1 cup shredded purple cabbage
    8–10 small flour or corn tortillas (lightly toasted)
    Extra cilantro (for garnish)
    Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Marinate those shrimpies
    In a bowl, whisk the marinade ingredients. Toss in the shrimp and coat them like they owe you money. Let them chill in the fridge for up to 30 minutes.

  2. Whip the crema
    Blend all avocado crema ingredients until smooth. If it’s thicker than your ex’s excuses, add a splash of water.

  3. Prep the slaw
    Shred the cabbages and toss them in a little of that creamy green magic. Set the rest of the crema aside for drizzle duty.

  4. Cook the shrimp
    Cast iron skillet or grill—your call. Medium-high heat, shrimp laid flat (no overlapping). Cook 2–3 minutes per side until they get that kissed by fire look.

  5. Assemble & devour
    Load up those tortillas with slaw, shrimp, crema drizzle, fresh cilantro, and lime. Cue tastebud mic drop.
